Whenever I see an Add on GB or eat-sleep-game.com (Ex 1-upers website) I be sure to tab click it so I can feel like Im contributing in some way. But only on the smaller websites, Gamespot and new 1up can kiss my ass, same goes for gametrailers. Anyone else?

I do the same, the one place I don't mind the ads but welcome them.

I have Adblock Plus disabled for the Whiskey Media sites. Their ads are unintrusive and I feel they deserve the support. But if they start running ads that I feel hinder the experience, then Adblock goes back on.

Your concept is filled with two fallacies:
  1. Giant Bomb is not a small site.  True, it has a microscopic full-time Giant Bomb staff (the four guys and Drew), but the site itself gets more traffic a day that many video game websites, including 1UP.
  2. Punishing the 1UP left behind, who's only trying to rebuild the site against insurmountable odds and hire back as many people as they can, because of a mass firing that could have been one last gift from Uncle Ziff, is petty.
